The Democratic Party rigging system

Thanks to WikiLeaks we can now see how the Democratic National Committee [1] is really not Democratic at all. They play favorites and have a plan to shepherd the flock into the ballot box to put their preferred pick in power. [2] It’s an insiders game. And while many Bernie supporters feel gypped right now, wondering how all these bought and sold delegates aren’t voting their way- the Republican Party is sitting there wondering how a former Democrat reality TV star who had never run for office before just hijacked their party. Super delegates are the poison pill to make sure that doesn’t happen in the Democratic party.

The whole two party system reeks of insider politics. Almost every other “free country” in the world has more than 2 major political parties and has real differentiation between platforms. Only in the US do we get dumbed down parties where many people can’t even tell the difference.

But if you think this is only a national phenomena, you’ve missed the most important part. The local Montgomery County Party engages in the same filtering, the same preselection process. You don’t get to choose your candidates, you get to choose who they let you vote for in most elections.

We don’t have primaries in most local elections anymore. Which means we don’t really have a democratic process.

This can change. If you are a democrat, and you feel that the system has been tilted for Hillary, or you just want to make sure that people in a smokey back room don’t choose your candidates for you, consider running for precinct captain of the democratic party. The next election isn’t for a little bit, but it wouldn’t hurt to start talking to the dems in your precinct, and connecting with others who want to have a fair and just electoral process. Where candidates are elected by the voters, instead of by party insiders.

It’s time to take the politics back to the people from the political elite.

David,

dont you think it’s time to tel the Dems & GOP to hit the road. You have had some great ideas, you’ve also had some bonehead ideas, so have I. They don’t care, neither do the GOP.  Look at the mess the City of Dayton is and Montgonery County as well.

Its time for a Third Party to step up and represent the Middle Class…..

…Trump didn’t hijack the GOP, dear David. He received more primary votes than any Republican candidate in history. You’ve mistaken hijacking for mutiny. The crew has their sabres drawn, the sharks are circling the ship, and the officers are walking the plank…

David Lauri

Ice spins the Republican primary by saying, “Trump […] received more primary votes than any Republican candidate in history.”

 

Of course another way to look at it is that a majority—55.46%—of Republican primary voters in 2016 voted against Trump.

 

And yet another way to look at it is that more people voted for Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primaries than voted for Trump in the Republican ones: 16,847,075 for Hillary vs 14,009,107 for Trump.

David – there’s lies, lies, and damned statistics. If you say Hillary got more votes than Trump for instance, are you controlling for the fact that Trump had 16 opponents whereas Hillary only had one?

 

Truth is you can twist almost any statistic to almost any end.

The system is corrupt throughout and yes numbers can be manipulated.

This does not give the little angle Hillary a pass to the white house let alone the fact she will do anything to get the highest power grab.

To say the Donald is worse so vote for Hillary does not cut it.

Do not let you be fooled and drink the kool-aid in this Jim Jones style to the white house.

 

I am not buying and you should not.
